Back on My Feet Meaningful Miles 5K

Back on My Feet Atlanta hosts Atlanta's inaugural Meaningful Miles 5K at Historic Fourth Ward Park.  Each mile of the race will honor a partner shelter facility/teams—a Trinity Mile, a Gateway Mile and a Salvation Army Mile.

Back on My Feet, "is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of homeless populations by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem."

The run begins at 7:30am but runners are invited to arrive early for the traditional Back on My Feet Circle Up beginning at 7:00am.
